External Clinical Trials

External Clinical Trials to get Involved in

Here will be listed ongoing external Clinical Trials whose leads have asked ARNI to highlight their work in order that members of the public can apply in order to be involved with research: to receive the intervention(s) and accompanying therapy if appropriate.
Many clinicians running trials have considerable problems getting enough former patients to come along and take part in their trials – and the paradox is that many former patients don’t know how to get involved in trials but would if they could, as there is often a benefit to them. So we hope here in this section to be a conduit for both clinicians and survivors – please check back because new evaluations and trials are loaded up when requests come in.

TIPS (tDCS in post-stroke fatigue)

is a Wellcome Trust and Stroke Association funded study in which
we are trying to identify neural correlates of fatigue or tiredness in stroke patients.

Does reduced motor cortical excitability cause post-stroke fatigue?

Please have a look at the flyer from the Institute of Neurology concerning this vital but under-researched area.
